Despite various efforts taken both by the Tanzania Communications Authority (TCRA) and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), mobile fraud is still a major challenge facing thousands of citizens.

According to the TCRA quarterly report for the three months to December 2023, a total of 21,788 fraud incidences were recorded, compared to 12,603 cases reported in the same period in 2022.

According to the regulator, between October and December, five leading regions recorded the most cases of SIM card fraud.

Regions leading in most fraud cases:

Rukwa- 7,666 cases
Morogoro- 7,171 cases
Dar es Salaam- 1,717 cases
Mbeya- 1,549 cases
Tabora- 590 cases

“The four regions of Rukwa, Morogoro, Dar es Salaam, and Mbeya had more than three-quarters (82 percent) of the total fraud attempts in the country,” the report says.

On the other hand, the regions of North Pemba with 108,600 SIM cards and South Pemba with 108,640 SIM card holders recorded less than ten fraud attempts.
